Keshi, coach of the country's national team, the Super
Eagles.
The Cable reports that the decision was made Wednesday
night by the executive committee of the newly constituted
Nigeria Football Federation, at a meeting at Transcorp
Hilton, Abuja.
Keshi, will now be replaced by Shaibu Amodu, a former
coach of the team. He will be supported by Salisu Yusuf,
Gbenga Ogunbote and Aloysius Agu. Garba Lawal, a
former player will serve as the team 's coordinator.
Amodu as a caretaker coach, will take charge of the team
for the last two matches in the qualifying round for the
2015 African Cup of Nations.
Keshi's three-year contract with NFF actually expired at
the end of the World Cup in Brazil, where he led the team
to the second round of the competition, just after winning
the African Cup of Nations.
The team have had a run of bad results since then, losing
to Sudan and Congo in the Group A qualifiers and
drawing with South Africa. The team recorded a 3-1
victory over Sudan in Abuja on Wednesday.
But the NFF executives did not seem to be impressed to
give Keshi a new contract, more so since Keshi had
boasted that he has several African countries waiting to
hire him.
